The historic building was demolished long ago, but the legacy of the Hip Hop youth center prevailed in those kids. Thirty-one years later we gather to celebrate the anniversary of "Radiotron" and to learn the history of Hip Hop culture in L.A. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5pcqZN184c

A Stage Of The Arts, Inc. production, in association with Milagro Film Works, and Advo-Pop Media.

Stage Of The Arts, Inc. was founded 1982 and presented theater shows at an storefront theater by Bonny Brae Street. The Radiotron Club was born in the neighborhoodsummer 1983, when performer storyteller Carmelo Alvarez (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAh8U0Zzw_w) came back from New York to his MacArthur Park neighborhood. Carmelo became a youth cultural advocate, and lead Radiotron to procure their own building: The Radiotron Youth Cultural Center by Park View Street, where the legacy of popping and graffiti art exploded into the breakdancing fever of Hip Hop decades.

Stage Of The Arts, Inc. mission is to promote and develop multiethnic, international arts and cultural awareness in the City of Los Angeles, and to establish programs for research and community development, providing working space and affordable housing for artists, including traditional arts forms as well as communication technology based on computer applications.

About Me

We spend time speaking about the Green Stage Alliance and our request for the CD 13 Councilman to make sure that after May 2013 there is a contractual obligation for vendors at Echo Park Lake to replace Styrofoam and petroleum base plastic by implementing use of biodegradable greenware and organic plastics.
CHECK www.StageOfTheArts.info for information about the GREEN STAGE ALLIANCE, where arts and humanities meet with our environment.
UPDATE: Accomplished 2014. The vendor at the boat house is fully green biodegradable. AND MAY 20, 2014 our 20 years old Cuban Music Festival became the first Zero Waste large event at Echo park.
